Destination Wedding Gift Registry

sharp0099

Some people need to chill out...  The lady is new to the boards and had a question. Yes, the question has been posted before, but why not just let her know "politely"?  Isn’t this the etiquette board? 

Etiquette definition:  The customary code of polite behavior in society or among members of a particular profession or group.

Who was rude to the OP?

I'm curious about this also... I don't think anyone got rude in this thread (well, until the appearance of the anti-Snippy AE, but that has nothing to do with the OP, that's just a bored troll).

Username wasn't rude in this thread - she agreed that it was a bad idea for the OP, etiquette-wise, to set up a registry to fund her wedding, and then edited to say she approved when she realized that OP had decided against the registry.  By your definition, we're all being rude because we told OP her idea was bad....

Snippy implied the same thing with the above comment.

And sharp, the rudeness towards you kicked in after you showed up all "holier-than-thou" trying to tell people we were being big meanies.  You're not exactly a paragon of social grace yourself here.

I feel like sharp has come into threads before telling everyone they are rude and have no manners.

OH lord, your comment is so original. I never said that I was hard and most people on here other than regs are AE's as it is so what's the biggie?

Until the insults were directed at me, I didn't say anyone was being rude to me, I stated that there was rudeness towards OP.  And it's not about being "holier-than-thou", it's just about being polite and nice.  People come to these boards seeking advice, not be mistreated.

whonamesthemselvessnippybetches

Oh and to those who said honeymoon registries are against etiquette, you're WRONG. There's nothing that says this. But I guess if you want to get really technical about it ALL registries are improper.
